Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.

It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

There is always room at the top.

Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.

Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.

To go too far is as bad as to fall short.

We travel. Some of us forever. To seek other states, other lives, other souls.

Aim for the highest.

One must maintain a little bittle of summer, even in the middle of winter.

If you want creative workers, give them enough time to play.

We could all take a lesson from crayons: some are sharp, some are beautiful, some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they still learn to live in the same box...

You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.

Drink moderately, for drunkenness neither keeps a secret nor observes a promise.

Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision.

Identify your problems but give your power and energy to solutions

If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.

If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.

Why live an ordinary life, when you can live an extraordinary one.
